Baccalieu ARES
We have been actively involved in
emergency communication since the begining, but we have placed more importance
on this since 1999, when we set up a local Amateur Radio Emergency Service
(ARES) group. In the past five years we have made great strides towards
insuring that we are able to provide reliable communications to the various
emergency organizations in the surounding areas.
We have had several of our members
attent training sessions with the Newfoundland & Labrador Emergency
Measures Organization and they have in turn passed the knowledge that they
aquired along to the others in the group, making for a better understanding
of our role during an emergency. We have also outfitted ourselves with
a multitude of equipment necessary to carry out our mandate. Some of which
include the following;
- Portable HF Stations
- Portable VHF Stations
- Portable UHF Stations
- 2.5kW Portable Gas Generator
- 35' Portable Antenna Tower
- Canvas Prospector Tent |
